You're listening to Comedy Central.
Hey, everybody, we are back with another episode to hold up. I'm your host, Josh Johnson, right for the Daily Show and joining me as my co host, you'll say, Sloan correspondent for the Daily Show. And we're getting right into it. You know, I know that there's a lot going on in the world. I know there's big things, there's wars, there's there's market crashes. We're not gonna be talking about any of that. We're talking about stuff that probably doesn't
even matter at all to anybody but us. And we're talking about today staycation versus vacation. Where do you stand? Where do you land? What do you want to go on? More? And I'm not gonna put this on you. I'm just saying that it seems to me like you are a vacation kind of gal. I'm I'm a I'm a staycation dude.
I'm a homebody. Because for me, this is I'm just gonna throw this out there, and this is not pointed, but just just you're you're gonna you're gonna catch some bass in my voice, all right, You're gonna you're gonna catch some tone. Okay, I cannot stand the fact that a vacation includes a trip to the airport, a trip to a bus station, a trip like I like to already be places. I don't like to travel. People say they like traveling. You like to already be there. The airport is a nightmare.
Okay, so you want to be able to teleport, that's what that sounds like.
Yeah, I'm sick of attacks, like the actual social attacks at an airport that I have to go through to have a vacation. It doesn't make any sense.
Do you have clear and pre check?
I have clear, I have pre checked. But you know what, sometimes those close. I didn't even know that was possible. Sometimes nobody close them.
Not only will they be closed, they won't be open early enough. Then customs also closes as if planes don't land daily. So it's like you should at least see, like when's the earliest flight coming in from an international flight? Be open? When's the latest flight leaving? Be fucking open? Who invented this nonsense? We know who did it, but we won't have to talk about them. We know who did this, We know who did it. Have you considered taking a vacation in a car, like, well, you don't drive.
No, No, I can't drive. So no, I have not considered taking a vacation in a car. That would be a car accident almost immediately.
Okay, well I think you should try. Ooh, you can do like the best of both worlds. Like you remember whenever Idy was like had left the city and was like just took over the mountains of like upstate New York and all these other places like the Poconos, which full disclosure, for most of my life I thought was islands.
Uh, I'm just finding out they're not islands right now.
See don't they sound like islands?
Yeah?
Yeah, they're fucking mountains.
It also sounds like islands. We don't fully understand.
Right, So it's like, oh, we're going to the Poconos. So if you say that word to me, you're telling me it's a vacation. I'm hearing the word Poconos expecting fucking mountains in New York because it's crazy, just blandlocked, just higher altitudes. Sounds nuts. Have you considered, because then you can get like the best of both worlds. You drive up to a cabin and then you're staying in a cabin, so you're getting your staycation. But You're just not at your house.
No, because at my home, I know where everything is. This cabin, this, this cabin. You know, how do we know there's not murders? How do we know there's not somebody waiting? You know what I mean? The cabin is where the stuff happens from the movie.
You're right, That's why I'm like going up there. I'll say, for me, it depends. But I think because we have been in a Panorama, a Panasonic, a Pondul's, a Popeye's for the past two years. My desire because like I'm a beach per right, So like my family's from Miami. I was born there and we used to live there. So like for me, vacation means beach period. M hm. Do look at me and go like, oh, we're going to like somewhere that's not gonna be any geographical place.
It's not a beach for vacation. I'm gonna look at you like the nets.
You don't want to go to Montana? You don't want to I mean, cause here's the thing I look like. The other thing about vacations that I can't stand is that there's a pressure to like have fun and do activities and and and like really be out there whereas a staycation. Now, it's all up to you. Do you want Netflix? Do you want to just relax? You want sleep? That's all happening. It's happening at home.
I have been on vacation with people and it's been chill as shit, and we're doing whatever, we're doing whatever we do it. And then there's other people that want to give you like a full itinerary and itemize and I'm like, this is not relaxing because I don't like to do this in my life. So it's like also like you'll go on vacation with people and they don't want to spend money on food.
Wait what It's like.
I've gone on vacations with people and it's like, well I don't want to spend a bunch of money on food, you know, Like, bitch, what are you talking about? Like I want to make it. It's like, well, we can just get maded that I am not eating anywhere where I can eat where I live.
Do you want to know what that is? Though? That is a staycation person going on a vacation.
Now, there's a broke person going on vacation. There's a broke person going on vacation, you should have stayed home. You should stay home. It's like I like I now like when I go on vacation, I want like a hotel room that has like even I it's a kitchenette or something, right, because like you want to be able to have like little snackies, and so you have a place that has like a little kitchen area so you can keep cold cuts cold. Okay, keeps cold cuts cold.
Nobody's eating hot cold cuts. That's ay. You gets sick, you get some nice fruits, you bring you some watermelon, nice little trees, get you some cold drinks, and then you have a nice day on the beach. You are not about this.
No, because you know what you're describing. It's home. No, that's that's that's that's home to me. I already got the cold cuts, already got them cold, not warm. I already got the fruits and the veggies. I'm doing all of my my my things at home. And this is the other thing about vacations is that people always end up doing my stuff out there.
So then you can go That's the way I mean, a person.
Columbia to watch Netflix, to watch Columbia Netflix. I got my American.
Netflix listen once. It's like because like when I went to Turks and Caicos, like a lot of those resort places, people have been at the beach all day long. They're probably going to be exhausted. So like some places don't like So it didn't like a lot of like a lot of night in life because like a family place, like I had to meet people that lived there. Remember I told you one on the date that would just ended up being a family outing. Yeah right, just wow,
just for the listeners. I went on a boat tour, was hanging out with like twenty middle aged white people from New Jersey because they were also on the boat. We had a great time. Uh. But one of the guys I was working on the boat, I think it was like this, he wasn't the captain. Captain was married, because I would have gone for the captains, but because you know, gott to go for the nick in charge. Why would I go for the assistant. That sounds crazy, So but he was a nice man. We hung out.
He's like, Okay, I want to take you out and I was like sure. He's like, yeah, there's this bar we all go to. I said, okay, cool, because I didn't want to do some stuff where, which is just like being on the resort all day. So he comes and picks me up, and when you see him, he's there's a like older woman in the front seat drinking a corona. And I was like, I'm not gonna get a kidnap this. But I had met some girls from Atlanta,
and you know, we don't play that game. So they took pictures of him when he wasn't looking, and then they took pictures of the car, and the girl, one of the girls, was like, she's like, you're coming back, and I was like, thank you so much.
Look, once again, these are vacation things. I don't have to take pictures of anything anybody.
But I used to do this in college, like when like the younger girls would have a guy like come and pick them up. Look where'd you meet him?
Oh?
We met something like this is like early two thousands. They might have met like something like black played at a college club some stupid like that. So if none of our friends knew who he was, we took a picture of him, took a picture of the license plate, and he's like, wow, why would y'all do thisthing? Cause she's coming back. That's why had no casualties in here, and some of them would get so spooked. One dude
just left the girl. He was like, I don't want to deal with this, and I was like, see, you would have ended up on the news. You're welcome, But.
I mean, I mean maybe, yeah, yeah, that.
May seems why he's so upset, why he's so bothered by this, right, So going I go and hang so like it's it's it's his aunty in the car and then his cousin's in the back seat. And then come to find out later the reason all of the aunty and the cousin were in the car because it was the auntie's car. Right, So these are But I still had a fun time. I had an experience. He tried to con me into starting a jet skiing business. I was like, absolutely not. I don't know your last name.
But it was a nice man, glad I didn't give him the cookies because he was poor. But what I'm saying is you go on vacations to have adventures, right, But the other girls I was hanging out with, they stayed at the resort the entire time because it's an all inclusive resort, and one of the girls was like, She's like, I get my money's worth. I'm drinking everything, I'm eating all of the food. I am not leaving this resort because I pay the money.
Me.
On the other hand, I was just like, I've been on this resort for three day. I had because I got I was there from Wednesday to a Sunday.
Yeah yeah, by like now, now, maybe I just haven't been to as many places as you, so then maybe that's part of what's happening. But I'll tell you right now, there are adventures at home. There are adventures that you could have that you would have never One time I lost my remote and I genuinely I couldn't find it. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I looked up and down, I was tossing cushions, I was everything right, And eventually I just started walking up to the TV every time
that had changed a channel. Right. And then one day in my staycation, three day staycation, then on the third day, I opened one of the drawers in my kitchen boom remotes right there all right now. I don't know how it got there. Now I got an adventure and a mystery, and I don't even have to leave home.
That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Also, you must have had cable, because you can't change the stream of service without it control.
I don't know why my thing is sad and your thing is normal, all right, I don't. I don't know why that happened at all.
Listen. I went on an adventure with strangers. Okay. I found out that about the little dogs they have on the island. I saw all the all the islands. I was parasailing. Okay. I found out that I could not ride a horse on the beach because there's weight limit on these horses. And now I have a joke about it because I was like, where did you get these weak ass horses from? You? See what I'm saying, Like horses used to be able to put armor on people, and then armor on horses, and then we go to war.
So I'm like, where did you get these horses from?
Look, I'll tell you right now. I also have had some riveting staycasions. One time I had a dream about a turtle and it was wild. Woke up sweating everything.
How do I hang up? How do I hang up? How do I what?
Why would you hang out, Why would you Why would you hang up? I'm making good points.
I would to hang up. You can I tell me about a dream about a turtle and compare that to me and another girl swag surfing in the sky. It doesn't work that way.
No, it worked that way for me. Absolutely.
I was absolutely not Listen, this money you can't take it with you. Okay, first and foremost, you can't take this money with you. You work hard, you might as well spend it. This is the thing about vacations, though, It's like sometimes it's like like vacations come to an end. So it's say, even likecations come to an end because you have to take your ass back to work, right, So that's the hardest part of either being on a vacation or a staycation. You know you have to now
go back. Well, I guess you're a staycation ends you just wake up.
I guess boom, thank you. That's what I was going to say. I was going to wow, exactly what I was going to say.
Could you just go to work?
Like?
That's it?
Every weekend stressing, stressing and flights you know, Oh, how do I get back? I get back on the train, sir, excuse me, why I blow my nose. I did not expect this to happen.
While we were recording, I think about all the places that I wanted to go as like a kid. Like recently, I was like, wait, didn't you go to Hawaii with your mom?
Mm hmmm for them? That wasn't for me. Wow, that's I'm trying to give my mom and my aunt a better life? Are you so that that's just something that I thought that they would enjoy. I On the other hand, I could have stayed home. I could have watched all the net I was binging at the time, so that I had to quit binging and then and then get on a plane and watch it on a plane on a tiny screen. Then I had to get to Hawaii,
which is beautiful. Don't get me wrong. It's beautiful. There's beaches, there's like, you know, scan clad people, and there's their son and all the stuff.
As somebody who doesn't like the beach, like you make me think you're someone who doesn't like the beach.
It's just itchy dirt. It's it's just when you have.
You heard Jay Jorden's joke where he says, uh, sand is just gay dirt.
Wow, wow say, he said, it is so funny fell out.
He's so funny that I have to look at my But it's like I went to Hawaii back in March because like we had some we had some off time from the show, and I wanted to go, but I was like, I don't know anybody in Hawaii. I want to go. I want to go just because it's like I grew up in the nineties. They sent everybody on every TV show to Hawaii, so it's been like propped up to us for generations. And I was like, I want to go, but I want to by myself, because
I definitely went to Turks and KOs by myself. But I was like, there's black people here, I'll be fine, But Hawaii, I don't know the cats and as wall on the other side of the planet, it's literally right in the middle of the specific Pacific Ocean. You have no backup. So it's like I don't know nobody, know nobody out here. And then my big brother Tom Bell an amazing comic uh and stays on the TV show. He was doing shows out there, so I was like,
brother going, I'm gonna go with him. I go out there, we have fun. I meet a young man. I come back, you know, uh in April, and it hung out with him. But then I got to go like to more of the beaches, and you know, he took me all around and see the island because you were on it was Oahu when you went, where were you? Oahu? Are Maui?
I was in Maui. And I'll say this even you know you mentioned you know, the the what, what's the best way to put it? The brief and citing romance on a vacation. You know, there's something about meaning a person on vacation, and you know it's it's it's like new and it's fresh. And then it's like, ooh, I'm gonna have to leave soon. So how far is it's gonna go. I'm into the whole romance novel aspect of
romance vacations. But you know what a staycation? Hey, you can come back anytime, all right, You can come back whenever you want, I hear you.
But for that to work, you already have to have somebody on the hook before your's vacation starts. And also I thought this was gonna be a brief romance. And then this man was trying to marry me, which I did not see coming, and I was like, hey, I just wanted this to be like a fun, casual.
Thing, trying to make it a staycation. He was trying to make it a steak cake because then if you if he had married you and you had moved, my man is doing the same things that I'm talking about doing. You know, It's like you meet someone on vacation and you make it a staycation because you fall for I was not.
Finn moved to Hawaii. I have so much work to do. Like you said, I'm trying to get my mom a better life. I can't do that in Hawaii. I can't. I don't know what I'm with job I was supposed to have that was going to keep Maryann Hill from working, but it did not exist on that particular island. But like the I because like I was just in Okay. Here's the best example of the staycation. I was just in London for the past month shooting a TV show.
Mm hmm.
So it was a work trip, but I wasn't working all the time. And then for me sometimes that I'm in a new place, because like I waited to do all the real touristy touristy stuff till my mom came. The first week we were with Wait, you.
Were there, I was there. I was waiting for you to remember that I was also there.
But I was waiting for you to mention that you were also there.
Hey. I didn't want to interrupt, you know, I know that we argue all this show, but I want to be rude.
Okay, I hear it.
I get you, yep.
But like we were there for I was there for a month. You were there for a week, and so there were days we weren't working. But there were days we weren't working. But like I didn't feel like running around London, and I'm sure there was some days where you didn't feel like running around London.
So I didn't feel like running around London because my chest popped off.
Oh yeah, what happened with that? Could you have to get their Russian ivy profit?
This is this is why staycations are better. I'll tell you right now. So I'm in London and I'm just doing a regular bench press. I'm not I'm not doing I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm not trying to save any lives. I'm not trying to lift a car off a baby or anything. I'm doing a regular bitch press that I normally do, and I just hear a pop and I feel I feel a tear and I rewrack the bar and my arm is not cooperating, and I'm sitting there swelling like you like you saw me.
I can't believe I went to the museum. You saw me like two hours after it happened. And so I don't know what to do because I just got this like boulder on the left side of my chest. And if I had been home doing a staycation doing a bench press, I would have known what doctor to go to. I don't even know if they'll see me because I'm not from here. And apparently the health care is free, but is it free for everybody? Do they just have like health care spilling out the back of trucks or
do I need to go fill out a form? So right? You know, staycation is even better for getting hurt.
Yeah, I mean one, that's your fault for working out why you was on vacation. That's on you.
I mean, wow, Okay.
You wasn't gonna get out of shape in a week.
Yeah, but like the.
Shape wasn't gonna change you. We wasn't gonna stop being a trappings a week one all of a sudden gonna be like a.
Huge I want to be one of those big you know what, I'll go on vacation when I'm torn and ripped. Like Michael B.
Jordan, I want this for you. You've been talking about it for years.
Well you have to remind me how long I've been trying.
I mean, listen, we know that I've been trying to do various things with my body and they have not been coming to fruition. But it's just like I hear you want to stay because I was really trying to figure out because it's like because for my birthday, I was like, oh, I'm going to go to LA for a couple of days. But then literally this morning, I was just like, what if I.
Didn't mm hmmm, Well if you had a staycation with all the people you already know in New York to come through because.
But but I did that the last two years for my birthday with everybody in New York, and I haven't been able to see my LA friends. So for me, it's like, you know, getting your acquainted with people, and also's like I've been to la a few times. It's like it's always been for work. So then you can't be around anybody because you got to make sure you don't catch ORNI so I've done a staycation before, and it's like, oh, I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna
do that. I'm gonna do myart crafting, and then I just really give myself permission to just lay.
Dawn, which is the best. I don't know. I don't know why people are trying to have ambitious staycations. Okay, it was made for you to lay where you lay, for you to eat where you eat.
It.
It's absolutely perfect, all right. The people that are out here trying to go to other countries and like see other cultures and stuff, it's like what you're trying to prove, all right, So you don't want to travel worldly?
So wait, so you don't want to travel at all, You don't want to go to another place.
All I'll say is this, I go places. I do things like I went to London, go to Canada, I go places for shows. I'm I'm I'm a person that goes out. I'm just saying I would rather stay at home, all right, with a good book, because that's the other thing I do on vacation. Vacations, I end up buying books, But then I just wish I was home reading because then you buy a book on vacation and then everybody's like, no, I come to the beach with us, everything like that, and then then after all.
Whad books on the beach all the time?
I don't want to stand in my pages. I don't. I don't want the binding of my book to be dirtied with the soiled sweat of the earth.
Wow. Okay, so you can sit by the pool, because most hotels have pools. You can sit by the pool and read a.
Book and get splashed with chlorine on my pristine new book.
Listen. I don't. I can't want this for you. I'm just trying to figure out. I guess I understand, like there's times that I really want to be home, right, and then there's times from just like I think. The other thing for me is like I'm single. Mm hmm, so being in my house by myself for an extended period of time just makes me sad mm hmm. Like if there was another human being in my house, maybe even a cat, there was another living creature in my house. Well,
another mammal. There's another mammal in my house.
Another more more specific. Every time I don't uh so.
Something I can hug an ear, then I might be more inclined to be home more. But like I remember, I was like out like a couple of months ago, and one of my friends were like, oh, it's like one in the morning, are you going home? And I was like, why, there's nobody at my house and he just started laughing. I was like, what he's thinking, It is very good. I've no want to go home to I'm gonna get in the house. When I left, it was just me. When I got home, it was just me.
These dishes only get washed when I feel like doing them, and I never felt like doing them. So I think for me, like going on trips and stuff, it's like it's really just trying to get to the beach. But I think that's like the beach is like a relaxing place for me.
Okay, so how about this. I'll pitch you this. I'll ask you this. If you live somewhere with a beach, would you go on vacations if the beach was already there, It's already outside the window. You can see it. You can just peek out your blinds and see the beach. You know, you can just stare at it out your
window like a pervert. Right, You're still going on vacations now, I don't know, because that's my thing is that if you got the right environment, a staycation is better than a vacation because you already know you want to be at the place that you are.
Well, I guess like that's why I started buying better seats on planes because the hardest part was just like just being hemmed up, just shrapped in this tube in the sky, trying not to pee because I'm in a window seat and I had to climb over to two other adults. What all I'm just trying to do was just, you know, look for the latrine. So just that, so like just traveling in a different way, And like I remember there was one time I was in lax and I don't know if some flights had got canceled or
what happened, but there were people fucking everywhere. I was like, is this a bus station? What the hell happening here? Because I was like I was excuse, you know, because like Costa was telling me, He's like, oh, you should get a membership in the Delta Lounge in the American Lines, I'm like, I don't think I need that. And there was a thousand humans, truly thousands of people, and it was stressing me out. So I was like, let me
go in the Delta sky Club. And I walked in there, and I was like, is the air different in here? Like it was just a different vibe because it wasn't a million people stressed out about getting on a plane.
Very interesting, very interesting. So you went to an airport and you were getting overwhelmed by the amount of people around you and and their franticness, their chaos was was it was coming at you funny. So you wanted to get away from that, so you went to a sky lounge, which is only replicating a staycation.
A sky lounge is not representing a stacation. And you know, good and damn well, it's not. It's a whole barn here it's free because you're still try it's a lounge, Josh, it's not. I'm currently in the green room of the show. I don't think I'm in a living room. I know I'm in a room that is designated for people to wait in.
It's not a lounge that moves. It's a lounge that stays right where it is.
You know, the whole airport doesn't move. I still have to leave this lounge to go to my flight. No, this.
Is a point for me.
I am not making a point for you, because how about this. They could make the whole airport. That's the thing that to make it exclusive, because like you're in a first class seat, you automatically get it right when you are paying to have a different type of experience than there is going to be food and drinks because I paid you more to not be in the franticness of the people who are getting on a Spirit Airline flight or whatever, or group nine. Like, that's why it's
gonna sound very lead. Some people are gonna be upset. That's not my problem, and I not knowing.
You really came for group nine.
That's listen. You think I wasn't in group nine.
You think when I started trying.
We've all been in group nine. When you start going on the road, you are a group eight, Group nine, group six. And then when you start whacking up these frequent flyer miles because you work the more freaking flyer miles, you get the earlier you can get on a So I'm always gonna be Sky priority no matter where I sit on this plane because I have four hundred thousand miles with Delta.
I think that, you know, we should also point out that group nine if you're not aware, if you're a listener and you're not actually someone who's had the misfortune of being in group nine, you're basically outside the plane.
Yeah, you're holding on the way the wing. Yeah you're that monster on that episode of Twilight Zone who is terrorizing a very young William Chatner like you're holding onto the plane for dear life. Also, by the time they get to group nine, if you don't have a backpack, that rolling your rolling backs, not getting on the plane group nine, it's just not no.
They tell you ahead of time, they tell you they don't even try.
Don't even try. You are in group nine. Go ahead, gate check this. Stop playing with people, so you start traveling. It's you, So you work your way up.
So can throw this out there to you. You know what type of place does not have this sort of hierarchy where you have to work your way up through money and time and expenses. Is a home. You know, I don't know that. That's that's true my basement. I want to sit in my basement for you know, thirty extra minutes because I'm in group nine.
First of all, you don't have a basement.
You don't know my life like that.
I do know your life like that.
I know you don't have no business out there.
Baby, I don't have a basement.
You never heard of. No, maybe maybe there's a basement. Look base im, you don't.
Have a basement. The building you're in might have a basement, but where you say, ain't got no basement. So that's I play this game. We are only dealing with true facts and experiences, and in your experience, your black as ain't got no basement. So I don't want to play this game. Okay. And the thing is because of time and experience spent, don't you live in a better apartment now than you did when you first moved in New York?
M See, I want to give it to you. But those are leases.
No, no, no, no no no, it's not about a lease. You're talking about a staycation. So where you stay is going to determine how your cation goes. Right, So when you and over your very first apartment in New York with whoever you were staying with, would you want cause so when you're doing staycation, you're like a solid week at home doing nothing. So your first apartment when you first moved to New York, would you have wanted to do a staycation in that apartment?
I don't even know if I want to talk about it, you know, no, no, no, no, no no no.
No no no no no no no.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean my first apartment in New York was a hallway. So that's that's uh to your point. I see what you mean that that you work your way up eventually. I guess I just feel like since I've lived in the same apartment for years now, I don't But.
But you had to work, and that's time to get to the plant where you could afford to live in an apartment that you would stay in for a week. Because your other apartment was a tornado drill. Sure, yeah, see that's not a place you wanted to stay caation. No, where you stay now with someplace you want to stay caation. So if you're living in a situation like that, you
would not want to stay there. You would put your coins together, peel them apart, if you got to you would collect your coins together and get on that jet food flight because you can get an eighty dollars ticket to the Caribbean on Jet Blue and be in a nice seat and take luggage with you.
I didn't know those things.
They got a great Listen, It's not that expensive to get to the Bahamas. It's really not. That's why people always go. Bama's expensive to go to. That's why I was like, listen, if I can't deal with a man who can at least give me to the Bahamas, bro we, why am I let you see my tips? It's stupid.
Look peak staycation versus peak vacation. I'm trying to stay cation every time. I want to get enough money to have a nice enough house to where I never want to leave, and that's the ultimate staycation experience.
But do you not want to leave because your house is so expensive?
Yeah, I probably can't afford to leave now, Like.
Well that was a crazy thing, Like this is what kind of happened, like because of the RONI where it was like that's why we ran into furniture, because everybody was in their apartments being like, oh wait a minute, I got to be in here all day, every day
for months. Oh, we need to change it. Shut up, I'm losing my mind in here, because that was the thinking I think I got, like a lot of That's why so many people like left New York because it's like you for work at like eight in the morning, you might not come and if you go, you might not come back until eight to ten o'clock at night or even later, and then you just go to sleep. So you weren't even in your apartment that long. So
you're like, I can handle this. You know. Yes, the door, the bathroom door hits the toilet when I open the door, but I'm not here that off anyway, it don't matter. And then now you're in there because Uther Roney, and it's like, oh shit, this is I gotta get the hell about it here. You know that feeling that you get when you're on vacation, like you don't have any respond like you don't like you don't like that feeling.
I have that feeling at home, and here's there's no.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, there's no way.
I get that feeling hard at home.
Wow you're home.
Yeah, I don't. I don't care about anything. I'm like, oh, you know, you know it's about to get read this book, you know about to get watched this show. Oh, I'm in it. I seemless to my apartment because I know what's near me. I don't I don't even think. I don't even think you'd be ready for the level of staycation experience that I experienced. I think I think your mind would be blown.
Is that just reading a book and ordering foods you eat all the time?
What can I say? I got a good life.
I can't stand you.
I will say, though, the thing that you mentioned about vacations and how it, especially in the pandemic, people wanted to get out there and have new experiences. I understand that, Like I I get that. I'm it's not even new experiences.
It's just like leaving. You weren't in your house shaking in fear for a year and a half. It was like, I'm finally not mortified to step outside my house. What if we got on a plane?
Mm hmmm.
I think that's the campaign. It's like that makes sense, and I do understand the feeling. I'm just like being in your house and not having to do anything. But I think a staycation is just a weekend.
Ooh, ooh. That that's that's where I have to slow you down. That's where I have to back you up. That's where I have to stop you.
Okay, you have never talked to me like this before.
A staycation is as long as the imagination lets it go.
Now, staycation as far as long as you are on vacation. Then the next thing you wake up and go to work.
Yeah, but you you can be on staycation until the minute you leave that apartment, that house, that condo, that trailer, that car. It's about the mind. You know, You're You're the one that that's like hooked on the parameters of an itinerary. You have to be on that flight by a certain time or else you're not coming back.
Planes fly daily. You can always get a plane back. You can always get baby. No.
Fair Yeah, fair enough, that that makes sense. I see what you mean now of how vacations can be great and why people want to go on them. I'm I'm with you.
See, And and I also can understand because like every since like this thing started to open back up, I was like, oh, I don't this feels too open, Like I don't, I don't know.
Yeah, some people are nasty. Some people you. You're like, oh, you should still be in lockdown.
Yeah, you should still be in lockdown. You should be in handcuffed. So yeah, it's like I understand. But what I do also like, this is what I like what I'm on vacation. I don't like running around and doing a bunch of shit because, like, guess why, I like getting like a hotel, like a balcony or like an airbeit like a balcony, like I'm gonna be able to just sit outside and enjoy the air of another place. I don't like running around having a full ituner race.
So it's like, I guess sometimes I'll do a staycation while I'm on a vacation. That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you. I want to get not only just your thoughts, but the thoughts of the listeners. Let us know what you think. You know, are you a vacation person staycation person? Do you think one of us is absolutely crazy? It's probably me. I understand that I have very unpopular opinions about things.
Oh, people probably agree with you. They're like, no, I'm trying to stay in the house, you know, because sometimes.
I feel like a rich person agrees with me. I feel like, ah, I feel like anybody with money is probably going to agree with me. I'm just glad that we could find some common ground, you know.
